50 Years of History
HAVEN FOR WOMEN-Pictured above is a drawing of SC's most modern residence halls for women, Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall,
and University Hall. Both dormitories will be filled to capacity this fall as more and more students are enjoying campus life.

in Campus Revealed
freshman women, and 175 are men. She estimates that approximately 50 per cent of the student body lives on or near campus—in dormitories, fraternity and sorority houses, apartments, and private rooming houses.
And of her work Mrs. Arnold says, ‘‘Housing could be a problem, but I won’t let it.” And she’s not.
Mrs. Pearl Arnold, director of the housing bureau, says that trends in campus housing indicate an increased desire by students to become more of a part of campus life.
“There has been a definite shift of emphasis in housing. Where off-campus residence used to be stressed, now on-campus housing in the big thing,” she. says.
She pointed out also that the demand has increased. This indicates, she said, that SC is becoming less of a commuter school.
More Help In fact, the only lessening in housing demands has been for near-campus lodgings .for undergraduates. She said there is still plenty of demand for near-campus apartments by students with families and graduates students.
‘‘Because of the lessening in demand for near-campus housing, we can give students a more personalized approach to their problems and can plaos them in recommended homes," she said.
More undergraduate men now prefer living in doi’mitories or fraternity houses than in off-campus rooms—thus the decrease in demand.

“But the overall housing situation is snowballing,” she said. She emphasized however, that there are enough places to take care of the demand.
The only shortage of facilities is in campus dormitories, particularly women's dorms. Most reservations for women’s dorms have been filled since April. Freshman women are required to live in a dormitory if they do not live at home—which causes some of the congestion,
Mrs. Arnold assured all women, however, that if they desire to live on campus, they will be jlaced — somewhere. Women’s iormitories are Elisabeth von CleinSmid hall (freshman), University Hall (upper class women),
’own and Gown, and Harris *laza.
Mrs. Arnold pointed out that in own and Gown alone, number of esidents had almost doubled, ringing it to lull occupancy.

Here are her estimates on hous-g figures. About 700 students il live in dormitories this fall f these, 275 are women, 250 are
Exam Review Course Set
A review course to assist accountants in preparing for the national examination for certified public accountants will be started by SC on Tuesday, August 31, it was announced today.
The class will meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7 until 10 p.m. through November 11. It will be taught by Paul R. Cone, C.P.A., and Dean S. Butler, who is Tjoth an attorney and a C.P.A. There will be sections on theory, business auditing, individual and corporation law and problems. A trial examination will be given at the end of the course. Information about registration may be obtained by calling the University College office at SC. Richmond 2311, Ext. 216.
Official
Notice
Los Angeles city school teachers wishing early grade re|»orts sent to the Los Angeles city board of education on Aug. 80, 1954 report to the
office of the registrar not later than Aug. 16, in order to fill out grade requests and U-V forms.

New Medical Courses Offered
Offered only once every three years, a course in dermatology and syphilology will be started by the medical extension education division of the School of Medicine on September 13, Dr. Robert S. Cleland, director announced Friday.
Only 12 qualified physicians will be admitted to the class, which will be taught full-time for 12 months and carries 32 units of credit toward the graduate degree of Master of Science. The course is accredited by the Amer ican Board of Dermatology and Syphilology and is designed for physicians who plan to take the examination for certification by the board, Dr. Cleland said. Dr. Maximilian E. Obermayer of the SC medical school faculty will be the course director.
Scale Model Dam Spillway Tested Here
Dr. Kurt von Schuschnigg, who was Chancellor of Austria when Adolph Hitler took over the country for Germany, will lecture at noon tomorrow in Hancock Auditorium on “Lessons from 50 Years of Past History.”
Dr. von Schuschnigg will speak at the final, and what will probably be the best-attended, noon assembly of the summer. He will be introduced by Summer Session Dean John D. Cooke.
The Austrian professor will show what has been learned from historical events since 1904. He will outline the progress
of history by elaborating on ————--------------------------------------—»
events which happened in those years ending in the numeral four.
First Korea In 1904 was the First Korean conflict.
In 1914 World War I began.
1924 was the eve of the Locarno treaties, an attempt to restore European continental balance destroyed by the war. He will explain each of these events and show their historical significance.
“In 1934 came the first alarm of coming disaster,” he said. This was the year of widespread political murders and growing radicalism. He mentioned the assassination of French Foreign Minister Barthou and King Alexander of Yugoslavia as one example of political strife.
Many Problems 1944 was the end of the World War II. And in 1954—many problems unsettled. The number one problem, he said, is how to effect a French-German reconciliation.
Dr. von Schuschnigg is a professor of international relations at St. Louis University and is teaching at SC during post-session.
The assembly will begin at 12:15 tomorrow.
Oxford Speech Set by Professor
Dr. Meredith Thompson, asso-aiate professor of English, will relate “A Year at Oxford” Wednesday at 3:15 p.m. in the Doheny Art and Lecture room.
Dr. Thompson’s talk will be the sixth and final lecture of the Literature Series which ran on campus during both the six-week and post session.
SPILLWAY MODEL—Engineers C. T. Leeds, W. S. Peterson, and Dr. Kenneth C. Reynolds, head of the department of^general engineering, inspect scale model of proposed spillway channel for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Pleasant Valley Dam. Model was built in SC laboratory on assignment from the Water and Power department. Spillway will be used for flood control.
A scale model of the proposed side channel spillway for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Pleasant Valley dam is being tested in a research laboratory at the SC School of Engineering for a 100-to-l chance flood.
Water pours over the spillway of the model just as it will when the real earth-filled dam is completed in the Owens River gorge ten miles north of Bishop and 290 miles north of Los Angeles. The dam will create a regulating reservoir for Los Angeles’ water and power supply.
Department engineers have designed the spillway to discharge a flood of 3600 cubic feet per second so the excess water will go over the spillway with a rise of not more than five feet.
Three Pumps
The SC model, in which one foot equals 25 feet in the actual dam, is in a tank 12Va feet long, 8% feet wide, and 4 V* feet deep. Three pumps in the basement of the SC engineering building send 860 gallons of water per minute through the model in the fluid mechanics laboratory. This is equal to the designed flood flow of 3600 cubic feet per second or 2,700,000 gallons per minute. There is only a thousand to one chance that such a flood will ever occur, but engineers must plan for it.
Dr. Kenneth C. Reynolds, head of the department of general engineering at SC, who spent two years in Europe learning to make these models, said that tests with the model prove that the side channel spillway on the real dam will do what is expected ol it.
SC Graduate
Dr. Reynolds was given the research contract by the Department of Water and Power, and is being assisted on the project by William Busby, assistant civil engineer for the Department, who was graduated from SC in civil engineering in 1951.
Under Hans Nuetzel, civil engineer for the Department’s power system, Busby helped design hydraulic featuresV>i the dam.
Although Dr. Reynolds will be leaving in two weeks for Iraq to spend a year teaching at the College of Engineering in Baghdad on a Fulbright fellowship, Busby and some SC engineering students will continue working with the model dam for about three months.
They will use several different channel designs to see which type will carry off the water most efficiently alter it comes over the side spillway.
Purple dye can be dropped into the still water on the upstream side of the model, and the time and direction it takes in going over the spillway can be observed by the engineers.
Pleasant Valley dam, including a power plant, will cost an estimated $2,776,000.
